"Pathology of Malarial Disease -- ...cases of spotted fever. -- Case 97.— Private Alonzo A. Lumbert, Co H, 7th Wis. Vols.; age 19: was admitted from Haddington Hospital, Philadelphia, Pa., July 26, 1864, suffering from partial paralysis of the left arm, resulting from a gunshot wound received at the battle of the Wilderness, May 6. The ball had entered on the anterior surface of the arm a little below the shoulder-joint and emerged near the spine of the ninth dorsal vertebra. The patient improved under treatment, gradually gaining the use of the arm, until August11, when he was seized with nausea, headache, weakness and pain in the lower limbs. Next morning he had a chill followed by fever, pain in the bowels and slight diarrhoea; the nausea, heaidache and debility were increased; the tongue was coated with a white fur. He was treated with two-grain doses of quinine every three hours. There was no improvement on the 13th; in the evening he vomited frequently and complained of great weakness. Next day the vomiting continued; he was restless; his extremities were cold, face and lips bluish, pupils slightly dilated, pulse imperceptible at the wrist, but his mind remained clear. Circular purplish spots, which were not elevated, made their appearance on the face and right arm; they disappeared under strong pressure and returned slowly when the pressure was removed. Brandy was given freely and bottles of hot water applied to the lower extrimities. About 11 P. M. convulsive movements of the limbs occurred, with retraction of the head and muscular twitchings of the face. Death took place within half an hour of the convulsive seizure. -- Act. Ass't Surg.
